You Tell Us
{Continued from page 69)
from front to back, reading everything in its logical order.
Your articles about the great and near-great in Moviedom are not only interesting, but well-written, and in good taste. The movie reviews are very good, and I have yet to be disappointed in a show that New Movie said was good. Your special articles are fine, and to top it all, you carry better quality advertisements than most of the movie magazines.
There is one thing more that I would like. I would like, on an imaginary trip through the studio, to turn my back for a while on the actors on the set, and see what the electrician, the camera-man, the prop-man, the scriptgirl, and any others working on the set but not in the picture are doing, and why. Such an article once in a while would give us a better understanding of why it costs so much to make a picture; why some pictures can be made "on the set," and some have to go "on location"; and it would, I believe, answer a lot of questions a visitor on the lot would naturally ask.
After seeing "Lives of a Bengal Lancer," it occurred to me that those same characters could make a fine show of Scott's "Lady of the Lake." I can just see Jeanette MacDonald as "Ellen," Sir Guy Standing as Ellen's father, C. Aubrey Smith as "AllenBane," Gary Cooper as "Roderick," and Franchot Tone as "James Fitz-James." What a grand and glorious spectacle that would make! And the director of the "Bengal Lancers" could do it to perfection. And would the company go on location to Loch Lomond, in Scotland? Hmmmm? What a swell time the boys and girls would have!
And I still like your magazine. — Mrs. Don Nutt, 718 Russell Avenue, El Dorado, Ark. See the Joan CrawfordRobert Montgomery photos in this issue, Mrs. Nutt, for a glimpse of a set in action.
Ladies' Aid
New Movie looks imposing and attractive, and stands out distinctively on news-stands. Its increased size makes it tower over and above other Movie magazines, but being a Tower publication, I suppose that is to be expected.
When one looks at the space devoted to fan letters it's heartening to see what a number of such letters there are. I can recall some movie magazines that print barely five letters from fan readers, and in these magazines it's disappointing to turn to that page and find so few opinions about pictures, and stars, and things pertaining to them.
It's but natural for one to want to hear others express appreciation of one's own favorite star, and in thought silently condemn a few opinions that other readers have entertained.
To read a good batch of such fan letters is like going to the Ladies' Aid, or some sewing society, of an afternoon, and listening to the harmless gossip about things that all are interested in.
I thank New Movie for such an interchange of thought among ourselves, that the large letter department gives to its fan letter writers. — Mary Belle Walley, Butler, New Jersey.
Charlie
Charles Chaplin is making a picture! Such interest has not centered in a single production since Garbo made her first talkie. One well remembers

when she appeared on the threshold of the rum-soaked bar-room in "Annie Christie" and a breathless movie public waited for her to utter her first word into a microphone.
Will Chaplin speak? Let us hope not! The picture should have sound effects, but not the spoken word. He is a genius in the art of pantomime and his expressive hands, mobile features and characteristic gestures are all that are necessary to get his laughs and emotions across. Being a consummate artist he does not need the spoken word, silly gags and ridiculous situations to keep a theatre full of people entertained. Chaplin's appeal is world-wide and he should wisely remain unfettered from the bonds of language. — Mrs. R. W. Ballard, 506 Clement Ave., Charlotte, N. C. Sound effects and no dialogue — that's just what the picture has, we're betting, although we haven't seen it yet.
Silly Clothes
Producers evidently have a very poor knowledge of the psychology of the human mind. Interest should be allowed to center round the plot of the story and the acting, yet distractions, such as ridiculous and inappropriate costumes, often succeed in diverting one's mind entirely.
Adrian frequently designs such extreme clothes that he actually caricatures instead of compliments. Garbo and Shearer are his pet victims, and their talents are often subordinated to the glitter of the bizarre and the fantastic.
The picture "The Painted Veil" is a case in point. In the latter scenes Garbo's clothes bore the stamp of extreme Oriental influence and were the last word in exaggerated eccentricity. Such clothes, too severe even for the classic features of Garbo, resulted in a hardness of feature and expression, to say nothing of divorcing our attention from the plot and the cast entirely.
Costumes should be appropriate and becoming, but unobtrusive. Claudette Colbert's clothes in "It Happened One Night" were an example of perfect costuming, yet who remembers the details? The plot and the excellence of the acting were allowed to take precedence over clothes.
Please, producers . . . give us proper balance in our movie diet! — Mrs. H. D. Cooksey, 2709 Lochmore Avenue, Raleigh, N. C. And a lot of other people feel the same -way, Mrs. Cooksey.
Men!
Congratulations to Joseph Vojacek, for his note asking why more men do not have letters printed. I have often wondered the same. Don't men go to the movies and have a voice about their favorites too?
If I had two weeks to spend in Hollywood with the stars, here is my plan.
1st week
Monday — Dick Powell— I met him personally, and have never forgotten his powerful boyish personality.
Tuesday — William Powell — I never did like him on the screen, and want to know him in real life.
Wednesday — Fred Astaire — I am also interested in dancing.
Thursday — John Boles — to meet him, and see if he is "Just plain John" as our Elsie Janis says he is.
Friday — Freddie Bartholomew — A great star for the future also.
Saturday — Joe E. Brown — Because he is truly so human.
Sunday — Bing Crosby — A type of man we all enjoy and worship.
2nd week
Monday — Minna Gombell — Because
